There's no legal precedent here. Tech can go like Hollywood and push whatever political agenda they want. That being said, this is the type of thing that makes 1984 look a lot less like fiction. How many 13-18 year olds, who don't

Tell that to up-and-coming countries like China. Go ahead, see if they want to slow their economic growth for the "environment", let alone the breathing air of their people. And after you tell them off, take a trip to Africa (e.g.

The attitudes of this company and its founder are becoming more and more irritating. The other day he started getting more political about immigration and open boarders [1]. I get it, he's a globalist proposing his own self-interests.

Here's a thought: this pattern probably applies to other natural human needs as well. That is, developmental scarcity leading to brain re-wiring that compels overcompensation. It almost sounds Freudian (probably is), but people who lac

I don't know why you were downvoted. It's an interesting question you bring up, maybe I can offer some perspective. Why do you feel not high value? You must have had poor experiences on the dating market I reckon. Here's the

Here's an uncomfortable thought: an effective 1-to-1 mapping between men and women probably doesn't exist. The fact of the matter is that women are primarily interested in a top smaller percentage of high value men (this is called

Knowing very little about the case, it's hard to take a side without legal due process. Statistically, from other similar cases, there's a good chance this Jeremy guy is probably full of shit. But this rubbed me the wrong way: &gt

Here's another perspective on this issue, that might be a bit unpopular, but I feel needs to be said: Why do you feel entitled to do something relatively copy-able and not be copied? Because you're European? Patents and that sor

Alright sure, the 40 year trend differs from the 10 year trend. That's a good reason to be skeptical of my original claims (seriously). Maybe you can provide more counter-argument to my skepticism of climate changes being man-made. Tak
